Ingredients Meat & Poultry Chicken Chicken Breast Recipes Crispy Chicken Cutlets Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 45 mins Servings: 4 A streamlined take on a family-favorite that makes it even more suited for busy weeknights: a 15-minute marinade in yogurt tenderizes the chicken cutlets, while also acting as a ‘glue’ for crunchy panko breadcrumbs. The cutlets cook quickly in the frying pan and then are ready to be topped with a lemon-y mixed green salad and devoured. Directions Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine chicken and yogurt in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with tongs until chicken is well-coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours). Coat chicken with panko, patting to adhere. Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Add half of chicken; cook, rotating with tongs for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating with a slotted spoon before cooking second batch.) Repeat with remaining chicken. Place greens in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with cutlets and lemon wedges.
